The ability to pay water bills online has been a sought-after goal by local residents and city employees for some time.
“We are getting close but still cannot accept online payments now due to some software issues,” said city manager David Bullard Tuesday.
He went on to say that there have been instances were people have actually found a link and tried to pay their bills via computer but those payments are not getting to city hall.
“We don’t want people to have their money tied up by being lost in cyberspace,” Bulllard said.
The city can accept credit and bankcard payments at the window now but no timeframe has been set for the online payments to start.
“We are trying to work with the people who made online payments somehow to get their money back and are working with their financial institutions,” the city manager said.
“As soon as online payments can be made, we will make an announcement.”
